This year the conference will run over two days. Day 2 is available to the public.

Procurement in Australia is estimated to be approximately $600 billion. For every $100,000 spent on social procurement 1.5 jobs are created for disadvantaged Australians. Buying from social enterprise represents the greatest untapped potential in generating positive, sustainable social impact.
